Shortly before 4 p.m., Baytown police officers went to a residence in the 100 block of South Flamingo Bright Street to arrest Abigail Martinez, 23, on an outstanding felony drug warrant, police said.

Officers heard movement inside the home and ordered Martinez to come out, but she repeatedly refused. They opened the door and found her uncle, Felipe Martinez, on the couch. He was told to leave and was detained, police said.

Felipe Martinez, 40, attempted to coax his niece outside but she continued to refuse, according to police. That's when police sent in a K-9 and his handler.

The dog found Abigail Martinez hiding under several blankets and pillows and attempted to engage her, but she stabbed the dog in the face with the 5-inch plastic handle of an eyebrow brush, police said.

She was taken into custody and has been charged with a felony drug warrant and interference with a police service dog. Felipe Martinez had outstanding traffic warrants and was detained. Both were booked into the Baytown jail.

The dog had two puncture wounds under his eyes. He was treated at a local vet and returned to duty.
